the trash heap has spoken. nyaaah.

I know yesterday’s post didn’t really match with what’s been going on in my life right now – it was in the can from a few weeks ago, saved for when I was really out of time. Which I was last night, and still am, to tell the truth. So here’s another weird schizo post – shorter than usual, though.

BF gave me the first season of Fraggle Rock for my birthday. I grew up watching this show, and I’m loving it again. The songs are just so wonderful. The actual show has seams appearing to me for the first time, but the songs are still teh awesome.

Tonight I’m going to yoga class with Jennifer for the first time in about a month, and the first yoga class since Sunday’s morning class closed out the training. I’m sort of excited about it.

My job is stinky. That’s all I can say right now. Even Mom thinks they’re being unreasonable. I can’t wait to be done with it. My plan is to keep working and saving for as long as I can stand it, and meanwhile apply for other jobs.

Also, I’m planning to attend an introductory massage course at the community college in January, to see if it’s something I want to go into. I’m not clear on whether I should be looking at specialty massage schools instead of looking at the community college – whether it’s somehow “nicer” to go to a “real” massage school. But the thing to do to go into the field is just get the credits and take the state exam, and I’m pretty sure I can do that after getting the education anywhere. I’ll ask around to make sure, though.

Sky, at the training, advised me to go to Thailand for a week and learn Thai massage from her teacher. She said the plane ticket is by far the most expensive part of the process, and that staying in Thailand for a week isn’t even necessary to save up for. I have to say, going to Thailand is really not in my life plan right now, but I got through two weeks in a yurt, after all. To be honest, it sounds sort of exciting. And the little taste of Thai massage I got was wonderfully appealing.

Me? Thailand? What the hell happened to me at that training?

I am still glad to be home. I’m alternating between meat one day and vegetarian the next to try and ease back into having enough protein in my system while retaining the muscle tone I gained and weight I lost while I was away. Yesterday was a veggie day, and today I’m having chili. Woo!
